Vote for Our Official Top 20

Not at all, call me what you like :wink:

Silence is also a member on lovelockandload, i didn’t realise he was 13. (isn’t that the age you start to run your mouth anyway ;D)

Since the “100 voters” update from Septemeber there were only 5 new lists. So here’s another one taken from the Database from a user called Trou de balle (which means bullet hole). A French Canadian who did some editing work on French titles in the database.

My approximate top 20:
* 1. Quién Sabe? (aka A Bullet for the General)
* 2. Vamos a matar, compañeros
* 3. Once Upon a Time in the West
* 4. Django
* 5. A Fistful of Dollars
* 6. For a Few Dollars More
* 7. The Great Silence
* 8. Face to Face
* 9. Il Mercenario
* 10. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
* 11. I Giorni dell'ira
* 12. La Resa dei conti
* 13. Navaja Joe
* 14. Ehi amico... c'è Sabata, hai chiuso!
* 15. Il Grande duello
* 16. Duck, You Sucker!
* 17. Keoma
* 18. Mannaja
* 19. Se incontri Sartana prega per la tua morte
* 20. I Quattro dell'apocalisse</blockquote>

Thanks for this Stanton

Nice job, as usual Stanton!
Gracias!

Thanks for updating the list stanton

well done Stanton…

amazing that men named Sergio directed 11 of our top 12 movies.

Wow I didn’t even notice that!

Ha ha, yes it’s true. In fact SW was originally an abbreviation for Sergio Western and not Spaghetti Western, as most people wrongly think.

Thats really remarkeable. Imagine if most of the top hollywood films were directed by someone named “John” or “David” or something like that.

Excellent work, maestro

Kill and Pray/Requiescant is now he highest ranked film I haven’t seen
I think I’ll wait another year, to have something to look forward to

I like this way of thinking :slight_smile: .

I do this aswell. I’ve got Jackie Brown, but I’m saving it up so I can watch it in one sitting.

One of my favorites - probably my favorite Tarantino movie along with Inglourious Basterds (I love all his movies but JB and IB are classics).

I’ve just seen the new list.

Great job Stan, thank you. I read it and it is very interesting. I’m not a big fan of lists, but this one is really worth it.

Some of my faves are really in the lower regions…

That’s part of the fun …

As the forum’s Top 20 list calls itself a “dynamically changing list”, I will, now that we are in the5th year of voting, kick by and by some of the older lists out.
And I intend to start with a few lists of 2006, the first year of voting, which were compiled by members which don’t have any more a forum account, and for this reason are surely no longer part of the forum.

If no one complains I will start with a few lists which happen to have less than 20 films in it.

The last one is actually from July 07.
He was especially great as he introduced himself with the words: “I’m new to this site. It is a godsend! thank you! What a way to start…” and then never returned to the godsend site.

HAHAHAHAHA Thats hilarious.

Send 'em all to the gallows Stanton. Marshall’s orders!

The only two names I recognize are BHC (a friend of mine from the San Francisco area–that I never knew was on this forum!) and Indio Black. Indio Black is a British gentleman with whom I am familiar, unfortunately. He only signed up here to launch further attacks on Franco Cleef because he was no longer able to do so on John Nudge’s Spaghetti Western Web Board.
No problems with eliminating their lists along with the others, as far as I am concerned.

I think Phil’s alternative 20 has to be updated too because a couple of those films have made it into the top 20 if I’m not mistaken.
